36 hours of DIY

We spent the weekend remodeling our living room cabinet. Cuz that's what we lesbians lesbians & bisexuals do ;)

We started out with this boring old piece and used sanding paper to roughen it up a little:


when the room became a little crowded with drawers and boards we played a little hide and seek:




on went the glaze. twice. the beer helped a lot with the waiting process ;)


in the end victory was mine ours:


and this is the result in all its daylight glory and we love it a lot (I've been looking at that same stupid wood color for 13-or-so years now, so I'm really glad about the change):


refreshments used: marshmallows, cookies, salad, cake (not necessarily in that order)

To follow in this remodeling themed summer: new couch, new bathroom light, change shoe cabinet, paint wall.

also from now on I shall flickr. damn peer pressure...

Welcome to the Flickr Family! Way to succumb to peer pressure! I put wayyy too many pics up there.

Lovely remodeling, btw. Now I feel so bored with what I have at home ...
